San Francisco supervisors are set to approve a $2.87 million payout on Tuesday to the parents of a disabled Berkeley woman who was struck and killed by a car driven by a city employee during work hours.

Thu Phan, a UC Berkeley alumna and Department of Labor employee, was crossing the street last February at Market and Seventh streets on her way to work when the driver crashed into her electric wheelchair.

A Police Department spokesman told The Chronicle shortly after the accident that the turn was legal, because Harris’ car had an exempt license plate. Lawyers for the city argued in its brief that Phan had “full knowledge of the risks” involved in crossing the street.

Since the collision, the city has improved signage at the intersection in an effort to make it safer.

Phan was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as brittle-bone disease. The oldest of six siblings, Phan and her parents emigrated from Vietnam when she was 2 to give her more opportunities because of her bone condition. She was 38 when she died.

Phan was lucid for the first five hours after the collision, but she sustained head trauma and her condition deteriorated. Surgery did not save her.

San Francisco attorney Matt D. Davis, who represented Phan’s parents, said city officials sought to settle the case as quickly as possible.

“The city should be credited for immediately reaching out and seeking early and efficient and fair resolution,” Davis said. “We are pleased that the city acknowledged responsibility and the value of this woman’s life.”

In 2014, the city initiated its Vision Zero plan to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2024. But it’s made little dent. In 2016, traffic collisions involving cars claimed the lives of 30 people, including 16 pedestrians.
